Addressing the Commission:
Mr. Dale Ingram, P.O. Box 5922, E1 Monte representing
Mr. Gregorian;
(Because of the number of amendments Mr. Ingram was requesting
it was asked that his statement be placed in the minutes verbatim.)
"I am representing Mr. Gregorian, 2018 Durfee, So. E1 Monte,
owner of the subject property. The present request is for a
resubdivision of the six lots into four lots on the east side
of Hart between Valley and Steele Street.
"Mr. Gregorian has been very cooperative with the City in the
past and over the years. He was very instrumental in the City
successfully completing the Beautification project on Valley,
they needed his signature, as well as approximately $10,000
cost to him for that improvement.

"Also when he dedicated the land for the widening of Hart
street, he did so at no cost to the City, with the under-
standing at that time that the City would pay for any and all.
improvements, including sidewalks along Hart Street.
"In light of these past understandings and relationships, Mr:.
Gregorian asks that the Planning Commission waive some of the
requirements suggested by staff and the County Engineer.
"Speaking first to the staff recommendations; Increasing
the size of Parcel 4, will result in a 15' jog in the
property line instead of having a uniform depth which they
would have under the suggested plan. Lot three of course
is 2800 feet over the minimum standards but they're not
suggesting to reduce that one. Sneaking now to No. 2 on the
carport or garage, it will be difficult to build a two car
carport on the lot, the driveway side has only 12' between
the property line and the house. The other side only 7' between
the property line and the house.
"Condition No. 3 in the staff report we have no objections to;
. . . No. 4 speaking to the sidewalk requirement, as I said
Mr. Gregorian understood that the City, could take care of
Hart Street and he would be agreeable to providing sidewalks
on Steele Street in front of the two lots.
"No. 5, where the staff recommends or requests that we under-
take the rezoning of two lots, the two residential lots, we
would ask that you disregard that one completely, again
that we would like to preserve the existing zoning on this.
Mr. Gregorians mother lives in the house on the corner and
if something should happen to her, he may want to develop
the entire property commercially rather than, . he'll
continue in the residential classification, he does own all
of the residential lots in there.
"The County.Engineer's recommendation, speaking now to several
of the points that they made, the building and safety, the
office being used is being discontinued and the easterly
residential building, that will revert Mack to residential
use and I believe will be a legal non-conforming residence,
it's been there for many years, probably many years before it
was changed to commercial. The frame building at the southwest
corner of Parcel 2 is non-conforming and we will speak with
the Building Department to see if it can be modified to meet the
Fire Department requirements as to fire wall and things of that
type. The trailer that is mentioned in the engineer's report
will be removed. We also will look into requirements to bring
the storage building up to Code. . that are non-conforming now.
"The recommendations of the Mapping Division of the County
Engineer, C ondition 4, they made a recommendation that the
City consider getting access rights to Valley Boulevard, and
we of course must speak to that point.
"We must have access rights to Valley from Parcels 1 and 2 so
they can be sold.and or developed separately rather than
developed together.. Keep in mind that there are presently
four lots facing valley Boulevard each entitled to access to
Valley, . . . so again we must be positive when we say we must
have access to Valley Boulevard, and adequate access, so we
would ask that you disregard Condition No. 4.
"In conclusion, we ask that you consider the staff recommendation
for 5 first of all on the matter of specially rezoning the two
lots facing Steele Street. And if you agree with out request
to leave the zoning as it is then of course staff's conditions
1 and 2 are not necessary and can be waived. Because under the
present zoning, the commercial zoning, there is no minimum lot
size there and with a lot that is 5250 square feet, it does
conform and of course the other one is over 8000. And also the
second part is the City to provide sidewalks on Hart Street
and we will provide them on Steele Street."
